Peter Zijlstra 57ffc5ca67 perf: Fix AUX buffer refcounting
Its currently possible to drop the last refcount to the aux buffer
from NMI context, which results in the expected fireworks.

The refcounting needs a bigger overhaul, but to cure the immediate
problem, delay the freeing by using an irq_work.
